Looking For VA Home Loan Preapproval

[Dean C.]

I'm trying to decide which market to house hack right now. I'm not from the state, so I don't really know the amenities or pros/cons of north vs. south Florida. Potentially looking to rent individual bedrooms assuming that 3-4 multi-families are harder to find. I think getting in on the ground floor of an expensive market would help me build up that "financial runway" faster, as I could charge more per bedroom for rent. I'm also assuming that a touristy market would also be more prevalent in South/Southeast FL.

I saw Dave Myers wrote a piece that featured Hileah as a cash flowing market, compare Port Lucie, Ft. Lauderdale, or even the Bay Area to something of N. Florida's, Jacksonville you might be hard pressed to find an equitable return up there, if that sounds about right?
